Queen Of The Lumen Cities: A Short Story
The crowd settled as a podium was wheeled out and on the flat just before the grand stairs. Hushed tones and awed murmurs spread as the queen strutted into view, taking her place behind the microphone.
“Queens, kings, Individualities, and Citizens.” She spoke with authority, a modest smile growing on her face. “Welcome.”
The Queen of The Lumen Cities, a rather short, curvy woman who would gladly and proudly tell of her country. She had the complete trust and adoration of her people. Rightfully so. The king before her almost destroyed Lumen by pillaging the country of every entity that was a threat to him.
“Here today, I strengthen the bond between all of our countries. No longer will I allow the bad blood of history to direct our paths.”
King Ivack, what a sickening name, what an apprehensive time to be alive. No one was safe and what could the people do when the

"Let the gala begin!" The lady descended down the grand staircase, the crowd dipping into excited babble while talking among themselves. A few press members holding her up with pictures and words to spread to the public, before they were promptly escorted out.
She searched the crowd, shook hands with officials and chatted with many people who found such honor in just being so close to the dearest Lady of Manipulation. Soon after an announcement was made by the Vice. All persons that are not kings nor queens are to say their goodbyes and part ways.
The large ballroom was filled to the brim with a foggy silence. Within it seven queens and two kings. And then with an earsplitting chorus of squeals the seven merged into a group of one. The queens letting out gleeful screams as they collided into a large cluster of hugs and

    Ten more guards filed into the room to surround the queen. She didn't move her suit an inch. She just beared her golden teeth in a grin, and fixed her tiny eyes on Catherine. A guard finally broke the silence and fired a tranquiliser dart for the Queen's neck. But he should have known better. It was deflected by the suit's automatic shield and deflected straight back at him. He'd made a mistake. He'd enraged the beast. She stuck her arms up straight and thin metal thorns shot out of her torso, impaling the circle of guards. They were dead before they hit the ground. She grinned again. She hadn't drawn blood since the revolution of ten years ago. It felt good. She stepped forward over the top of the Duchess. Suddenly Prince Charles and George burst into the room. “Mother!” Charles cried. “What the heavens has gone on he-”…

    “Do you swear to protect the all the seven kingdoms justly and fair?” the high priest asked the future king. “I---I pro” before he could finish the grand doors burst open revealing King Joffrey alive and well. He turned around to see his older brother walking smugly towards the altar. “Jof-fery hhhow yyouu” stammering over his words wide eyed. “Hi therreeeee” he said slowly dragging out his words,smiling. “Long Hail the King” the priest called out loudly to the court as Joffrey walked to the iron throne. “Long Hail the King, Long hail the king” the people whispered lowly glancing at one another.
